Use a stop watch and take small bites, chew 25 times and wait 1 min.

I was just talking about this with my daughter. We have become a hurry up and eat and get back to either school or work. We've been trained to eat quick, now we need to retrain to eat slow.Ha

Sorry, didn't mean to post twice. My phone can be fickle.

When you get your meal, before eating cut it up into very small pieces. Then eat one piece at a time. Put down your fork while you chew. don't pick it back up until you have chewed a lot and have swallowed.

Leave yourself at least 30 minutes to eat

Try counting how many times you chew your food! That way it has been chewed enough not to get stuck and you are aware of how fast your eating!

Wait till you get stuck from eating too fast - after that you tend to slow down. That might sound horrible but realistically until you suffer a consequence of eating too fast it is unlikely that you will slow down sufficiently. I have always been a fast eater so I know what it's like.
